About the Item

Elegant 1920s Portrait “Zeventien” – Art Deco Lithograph by Hartley Davis Refined Art Deco portrait titled Zeventien (“Seventeen”), created by illustrator Hartley Davis and published as a high-quality lithograph in the Christmas edition of Haagsche Post dated December 25, 1924. The image captures a poised young woman with short, wavy brown hair and calm, thoughtful eyes, embodying the understated glamour of 1920s modernity. Dressed in a pale blue evening gown with a deep neckline and simple black necklace, the subject radiates the cool confidence and elegance associated with the flapper era. The soft pastel tones and airbrushed finish enhance the sitter’s porcelain complexion, lending the portrait a smooth, almost ethereal quality. Her gentle downward gaze and slightly parted lips add an element of introspection and subtle allure. The artist, Hartley Davis, was an illustrator active during the early 20th century whose portraits graced numerous fashion and lifestyle publications. His style is marked by refined lines, delicate shading, and an affinity for the beauty ideals of the Jazz Age. The work is signed at lower right, and a faint “HP” monogram also appears on the shoulder, indicating its inclusion in the Haagsche Post Christmas supplement (No. 576). Printed in the Netherlands as part of a holiday portfolio, the lithograph offered Dutch readers access to top-tier European illustration. This piece, titled Zeventien, reflects both a literal age and a metaphorical moment in a young woman’s life—full of potential, beauty, and independence. A collectible gem for enthusiasts of Art Deco, fashion illustration, or interwar portraiture. Condition report: Very good condition. Light age toning with only minor edge wear. No creases or tears. Paper surface clean and smooth with excellent color preservation. Framing tips: A slim silver or black Art Deco–inspired frame paired with a pale cream or dove-grey mat will complement the cool tones of the portrait and evoke its elegant 1920s aesthetic. Technique: Lithograph Maker: Hartley Davis, United Kingdom Publisher: Haagsche Post, The Netherlands, 1924
